    Hear From Those We've Impacted

    The BNMC IC Success program has been one of the most challenging and yet rewarding experiences in our entrepreneurial journey.
    Through the workshops we learned how to forecast our budget, identify and hone in on our target market, tighten up our business plan, and strengthen our marketing. The program staff made us all feel like a little family, and even when we thought we couldn’t make it through, they stood by us and offered support.

    The IC Success program was a transformative experience for me and my business.
    When I first joined, I felt like the underdog, unlike many of my peers, I didn’t have a logo or website established prior to starting the program. However, the support, resources, and encouragement I received completely changed that. One of the most valuable aspects of the program was the mentorship.

    One of the most rewarding aspects of this program was the opportunity to meet and connect with phenomenal women who not only supported one another throughout the journey but continue to do so even beyond the sessions.
    Additionally, the program helped me gain confidence in speaking in front of large groups. I became more comfortable articulating my business vision and goals.

    The IC success program helped me get specific about my goals. From the goal setting homework to the granular PowerPoint presentations, the program was always challenging me to keep moving forward and think out of the box.
    The most powerful aspect of the program was the in-person sessions in the classroom. I really enjoyed the speakers and networking events also. My most impactful milestone was the addition of another food truck to The Blend coming in Spring 2025!
